An urban street scene in Lagos, Nigeria, depicts four adult males actively engaged in clearing a large, dispersed pile of refuse from the roadside. In the foreground and mid-ground, a substantial volume of mixed litter—including plastic bottles, bags, wrappers, and organic waste—is scattered across a dirt and worn asphalt surface. To the far left, a dull green refuse dumpster is partially visible. Four men are central to the activity. On the left, a shirtless man wearing dark trousers and a cap stands beside a shovel, which is partially inserted into the trash pile. Next to him, a man in a yellow-green reflective vest and dark clothing uses a long, broom-like tool to rake or sweep the refuse. Further right, a barefoot man in a brown t-shirt and shorts holds the edge of a large, torn blue tarp or bag, appearing to gather or contain the trash. Another man in a white cap, dark t-shirt, and light trousers stands alongside him, also assisting with the blue tarp. The background features a commercial building with a black facade and yellow signage for "CLEMS MAKEUP AND SPA," "MAKEUP STUDIO," "24 HOURS SPA," and "MASSAGE." Advertisements for various beauty services are visible. A white light commercial truck is parked in front of the building, partially obscuring the entrance. Behind it, a large truck with multiple blue cargo containers is parked, followed by a black SUV on the far right. The sky is overcast. The ground shows additional scattered litter and dark stains beyond the main refuse pile.
